John,
We occasionally solve "wiggly monitor" problems for customers in the
washingotn dc area. If he is adjacent to a power transformer, and his tv is
wiggling, he is probably getting about 300 milligauss of magnetic field
strength. This is a lot, and would not be advisable for a pregnant woman,
for example.
13 milligauss is typical for an urban area, 2 milligauss for a rural
area.
I wouldnt want to sit there.
